The new Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is an excellent phone with more cameras, heavier specs, and S Pen compatibility. It comes with five cameras led by a 108 MP sensor, 100x zoom and 40 MP Selfies, two telephoto cameras, all-day battery life, 5G, and up to 16 GB of RAM. Everything is available in this Android phone with a 6.8-inch display having a 120 Hz Quad HD display. Moreover, it also offers an upgraded in-screen fingerprint sensor having a 1.7x larger surface area than the previous phone. Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra Design and Display The Galaxy S21 Ultra looks fascinating, and it offers so much that users love to have it. It comes in a Vantablack-like Phantom Black color and a Phantom silver color. However, the online Samsung store offers three additional color options: Phantom Navy, Phantom Titanium, and Phantom Brown.Whatever color you buy, the matte finish of each color is a wonderful improvement over last year’s S20 series. It offers a reflective shine that looks a little plastic and cheap. Both the phones Galaxy S21 Ultra and S21 Plus, come with a smooth Gorilla Glass back. The S21 Ultra offers everything you need while minimizing everything that users don’t want to see. The phone comes with a large display of 6.8 inches, and the curved edge-to-edge screen means that the phone’s bezel is almost non-existent. It has a 40 MP front camera that hides behind a tiny punch-hole that is easy to ignore after watching a few minutes of video.The Galaxy S21 Ultra screen is the first from Samsung that’s capable of offering a smooth 120 Hz refresh rate combined with a pixel-packing Quad HD resolution. S Pen Compatibility The Galaxy S21 Ultra is the first non-Note phone from Samsung that’s also compatible with its S Pen stylus. However, things are a bit different here, and there’s no S Pen included with the phone, and you need to purchase it separately. There’s no way to insert the stylus into the phone body. Camera The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra comes with five cameras and a 100x zoom range. It offers 30x photo zooms that capture perfect shots with breathtaking clarity. What helps most at the 3x and 100x of this product is the new tripod lock feature that prevents the viewfinder image from jumping around. Specs and Performance The Galaxy S21 Ultra is a faster phone for two reasons. It makes the debut of the brand-new chipsets, and the software has been improved a bit. It comes with the ever-evolving OneUI 3.0 interface tied into Android 11.Resolution: QHD 3200 x 1440Display Size: 6.8-inchPixel Density: 515ppiRefresh Rate: 120 HzChipset: Snapdragon 888 / Exynos 2100Storage: 128 GB/ 256 GB/ 512 GBRAM: 12 GB / 16 GBFront Camera: 40 MPRear Camera: 108 + 10 MP + 10 MP + 12 MPBattery: 5,000 mAhThe chipset of the Samsung S21 Ultra is quite amazing, and users are happy with the performance of this smartphone. However, you need to pay attention on the internal storage sizes. Many people don’t like the fact that S21 doesn’t offer a microSD card slot for expandable storage. Battery Life The Galaxy S21 Ultra offers excellent battery life during normal usage, and it runs for the whole day. However, the battery drained more quickly when we pushed the 120 Hz screen refresh rate to the max and turned up the resolution to Quad HD.Its 5,000 mAh battery runs for the whole day if you stick with the default settings. The resolution of this phone is set to 1080p, and it offers a Quad HD display. There’s no charger with the Galaxy S21 Ultra, and Samsung bets users have old chargers to use. It comes with a USB-C-to-USB cable, but you will need one of the newer fast chargers for this phone to charge it rapidly at 25W. You can also charge it fast wirelessly at up to 15W. However, Samsung doesn’t support 45W charging on the S21 series.
